COOLER MASTER ATCS 840 RC-840-KKN1-GP Black Computer Case

Comment:
Good layout, lots of area though that ought to be expected for a full tower. Huge fans move lots of air. Great cable management selections, even includes extra tie downs. Initially time employing a bottom mount PSU which I do like. Side panels have no dampening and constantly make a high pitch vibration noise. I'm always holding my foot against the side of the case to shut it up. Really annoying when each sides commence. No very good handles for moving it about so you finish up sliding it a lot. Std. length ATA cables (reusing a pair of old drives that are nonetheless fine) will not reach the intended HD mounting area - had to mount them in the five 1ǚ" bays which have substantially much less airflow. Std. SATA cables were fine. Pins in the HD mounting tray tend to come partially out of the rubber holder when inserting the drive; tray feels flimsy but may possibly hold up over time. Earlier case purchase for a different technique (different brand) numerous years ago is still in use and sits silent next to this one. Pretty much bought another and now wish I had. Much better and significantly quieter case.I've been making PCs for more than 20 years. Overall this is a decent case, I just don't assume it's every little thing the critiques I discovered and most of the feedback right here imply. For some thing focused on quiet the panels need to have been developed better. Disappointing...

this case is amazing! easyily interchangeable hdd bays, straightforward swap optical bays, slide out mobo tray... plenty of space for anything you would ever need to put in it none, Make positive that you read the dimensions, this is a Enormous case. i was suprised, but it turned out to be a pleasant one particular

Value - you basically won't get more for your income.Ease of Use - it's huge, but if you have the space this case is a dream to function in. The ball-bearing mounted slide-out motherboard tray is just icing on the cake. The pop-up front panel is good; it's basically hidden if you don't want it.Cooling - I suggest installing all possible fans; use low RPM "silent" fans if attainable. It's cool, and it's quiet! Weight - it's surprisingly light, especially taking into consideration how massive it is.Flexibility - this is a wonderful modders case; just check the net. This doesn't even deserve a minor score deduction, but the power provide filter cannot be removed if you've also installed an optional bottom fan. You might be able to eliminate if by bending it, but it's plastic and I won't. I tried to discover the perfect case, I genuinely did. I wanted just the suitable mixture of exceptional cooling, low noise, light weight, and ease of use. I read a gazillion critiques and examined ㅠ cases before I selected the 840. I couldn't be more pleased; I actually do consider it's the excellent case.

It's major and has a lot of room for the water cooling set up I usually wanted but couldn't fit in my mid tower case. It has dust filters, which do a great job keeping most of the dust out. It's easy and elegant. A little heavy? I don't know. Absolutely nothing really.

This thing is good. This is my second CM case. I have an original CM-Stacker. Like and nevertheless use that case, and I enjoy my new CM-ATCS-840. This case is incredibly quite. Lots of fans moving at slow speeds make for very good air flow, and low noise. Extremely well designed and believed out. The external exhaust fan is a brilliant thought along with the rest of the case. The removable MB tray with back panel make setup incredibly simple! Really happy! -eVGA x58 SLI-Intel Core i7 - 930 - O.C. four.2Ghz-Corsair Dominator 3x1GB DDR3-1600 8-8-8-24-74 1t at 1.65v-PNY GeForce GTS 250 1GB-Corsair CMPSU-750TX

Just purchased a second. Extremely sturdy. You can stand on the case if you wish. It's huge. A V10 doesn't appear so large in right here. PSU best or bottom. Plenty of area for liquid cooling if your interested. This case moves so substantially air that you will be suprised at how substantially cooling you can get with air alone. 3 X 230mm fans on leading and front. 3 X 120mm fans on HDD cage and back. Plus 2 additional optional 120mm fans that I don't use. My cpu cores never ever see 80 degrees running complete load at three.6 GHz for any length of time. (I can't get my present mobo any greater but it is definitely not due to heat and yes there is a quite bad assessment out there for my existing board.)I will review it when I have a lot more details but I expect to run my new board is going to get to four.0GHz (maybe even a little greater) on air cooling only with the identical setup. Note the open leading of the case. Fantastic for air flow but has a risk of something getting dropped (spilled) into the case. Assume about where the machine will sit. It's too large to go on the desk. My rig puts out a lot of heat so under the desk didn't work either. Be gentle with the stupid plastic clips on the front panel. This was a poor style option on an otherwise excellent case. I haven't had any problem with them in more than a year. It just bugs me. Has air filters that need to have to be cleaned typically.

Lots of space, Excellent cable management, great stock fans for cooling 鴦 mil fans are beastly and push about 100cfm I believe). Purchased 1 with the UD3R and an NH-D14 and every thing fits fantastic (dont get dominator ram with the nh-d14 is what I hear). I put a Kaze master fan controller and every little thing is ULTRA quiet. This entire case is 1 huge pro. By far the very best style Ive ever noticed in individual (seen the inside of hundreds). The black does look far better in person by the way. Its a classy look I would say. This case is large. I know youre thinking "ya man I read that already". K well, its a great three inches taller and two inches wider than my other FULL size tower. So . . ya its enormous even for a full tower. Seriously the large size is nothing but a plus. I have cuts on my hands right after the install and every thing fit excellent. Even with a non modular psu (Corsair 850), all the cables fit good and can be hidden out of the way. I do suggest a psu with incredibly lengthy cables like the Corsair though considering that the box is large.

1. I know it's been said but this is a excellent case for constructing. Pull-out MB tray is a major plus and my biggest cause for selecting this case.two. Cooling is significant and reasonably quiet given the number and size of fans.3. It looks sharp4. Effortless access to four USBs and audio on top. 5. Well laid out inside with a lot of space.six. Very good wiring management for neatness.7. Nice set of extras like cable ties and organizers.8. Issues are nicely labeled.9. HD and device installation is clever and a breeze.10. Solution for top-mounted PSU. 1. It's a beast. I know it's a full tower but it might will need its own zip code. Be incredibly confident to appear at the specs and measure. 2. The manual is somewhat obtuse on how to do items. If you're tech-savvy, you possibly won't have a problem but there's a lot to interpret.3. The screws for the peripheral slots are difficult to get at.4. For such a effectively-made, sturdy case, the sides are pretty flimsy and a little tough to remove. My ancient Antec Sonata is far simpler to function with and stronger in comparison.5. IT'S FAR FROM TOOL-Much less! In order to get inside, you want to get rid of four thumb screws ƒ per side.) two additional if you want to remove the leading. And to remove the MB, after removing the four thumbscrews, you have to take away 4 standard, smaller screws! The peripherals are also typical screws. And the thumb screws don't go in so simply.7. The front panel is a bear to get off.8. Even though there are no real sharp edges, some edges aren't rolled. Don't get me wrong: It's a fantastic case but I had to eliminate 1 egg for what I assume are important cons. They shouldn't stop any person from finding this but nevertheless, far more tool-much less style ought to have been implemented.

Looks great, pretty good cooling.Cable management is really convenient. The bottom optional 120mm fan is on the way if u want to clean the dust filter underneath energy supply. I pleased with the case!

Nice black paint. Light for the size. Removeable motherboard tray came in handy and made component installation really simple. Cables are neat and tidy, and has a ton of space for expansion and coolong. Looks great. When I was installing the power supply I realized it wouldnt fit simply because the case had been dropped on the back legs and the PS compartment had been warped. It is achievable that this was a return to Newegg as the instruction manual was missing as well. No massive deal, just downloaded it from cooler master and I was able to hammer out the bottom edge sufficient to make the bracket squeeze in snuggly. Just an added hassel. The removable power provide backplate is a good feature as it too was bent, and I was able to take it out and bend it back then attach it to the energy provide prior to installing it into the chassis which would have been incredibly tough otherwise. Also could have mounted the PS on the top. The sheer surface location of the left panel makes it prone to an annoying harmonic or vibration if intake airflow is starved or the fans are running tough. If this was indeed a return I would be very disappointed to have it shipped to me. However, it is likely that the instruction manual was just left out and it was damaged throughout shipment. In the end it worked out nicely as the case fixed up nice which is a testament to its utility. Just added 1ǘhr to the develop time. And the removable mobo tray saved an hour as nicely as I had to remove it a few occasions when hammering the case.

~Case is mostly aluminum with some structural pieces being steel. As a result the case is very sturdy.~Extremely very good layout and design. Everything is exactly where it need to be. ~Doesn't appear like it arrived from space. It has a quite simple and elegant appear to it.~Huge! A lot of room to work in, add water cooling, and whatever else your heart desires.𞴠mm fans provide exceptional cfm and are quite quiet.~Gives you the option to place your energy supply in the leading or bottom. ~Sub-par airflow. This case has way to significantly exhaust and not adequate intake. This causes the case to have negative pressure because the air is being sucked out quicker then it's becoming sucked in. As a result, it forces air in around the cracks in the case which also brings in dust.My recommendation to the disable the best-front 240mm exhaust fan and add 3 120mm fans to the accessible spots on the caseƒ on the hdd bays, and 1 at the bottom next to the energy supply). This will enhance airflow substantially. This is an awesome case for the income. The only down side is the airflow which is very easily fixed.

Comment:
Removable motherboard tray. Space for 360 radiators (maybe even 480 if the back plate near the top psu location is removed). Pop up usb / audio input section. Not fully black. Incredibly thin metal on bottom of case. Poor PSU filter style (removes from front of psu, NOT rear). 230MM fans don't move enough air for the case size. Not a fan of the plastic drive bay mounts. This case is in want of a revision update.

Towers above my mid-tower. Room galore. 5196 sq. in. compared to 2693 for Raidmax Smilodon. Massive volume provides it such SIZE. Superior-searching, nicely constructed and solid feeling. Not heavy. Suprisingly light. Great cost with no shipping. What a deal! Ought to have side panel stiffeners. Removable bottom front panel way too heavy(kick plate?). Have to be way over two lbs. Identical sort panel on front best, but lighter due to switches/connections. Side panels eliminate/install greater than any panels I have had. MB tray removes/installs beautifully. 16" from back to HD cage(subtract for optional HD fan install). 9 bladed 230mm fans-oh yeah! Few sharp edges(in usual unobtrusive locations) will not cut unless significantly force is utilised. Going to really like filling this very comparatively inexpensive case with goodies.

It's Huge. It's Wonderful! It's ALUMINUM! I didn't know a 赨 case could be this cool! Properly, it was 赨. But I have no regrets. It genuinely is big. It genuinely is quiet! I'd buy it once again in a snap - and I really Enjoy the brushed black aluminum finish!

...much better, indeed. This case is possibly 1 of the very best I've observed and employed. From the sleek retro/modern blend of the exteriors design to the amazingly quiet and nicely ventilated interior, it is a mixture of style, elegance and functionality. If you browse by means of the reviews you will read about numerous of the Pros on this case, but below I will point out some of the capabilities that make me a pleased owner:Huge - It houses a CEB for-factor WS Ɠx DIMMS, 1x GTS 250 and stock i7 cooler) and 500w ATX/PSU with room for cables, ventilation and extreme liquid cooling choices.Semi-Modular - Removable MoBo and selection of 1 (either leading or bottom) or 2 PSUs, uncomplicated to use HHD trays and drive bay face-plates.Quiet and Cool - Massive fans and spacious interior make this case each cool and quiet. Each my MoBo and CPU stay inside manufacturer claimed temps with their respective stock cooling.If these are items you can't live without having, then you need to purchase this case. No cons, just some points to watch for below: - MoBo tray has no thumb-screws. Seriously; how quite a few times would you need to have to slide the MoBo out? If you are so nit-picky about that, just purchase a set somewhere.- If you go with a leading PSU arrangement then you ought to get rid of the best-rear exhaust fan. If you do a top PSU arrangement then you will require a longer than usual MoBo power cable. Just mind that when you select your PSU for this case.- Both ventilation and case material demand consistent care and upkeep, but all pretty and efficient appliances do (especially brushed aluminum).- The case is each significant and heavy, please read the manufacturer specs and be certain you have the accommodations for it.- Power/HDD LEDs are BRIGHT!!!This is my 1st CM case and I am positive it will not be the last.Present components in the case:MoBo: ASUS P6T7 Supercomputer WS (Intel i7 920 stock fan/heat-sink, 3x Patriot Viper 2GB DIMMs)PSU: 1x OCZ Modular 500w ATXGraphics Card: 1x ASUS GTS 250OD: ASUS SATA CD/DVD

Nice looks, removable mobo tray, great cooling, large - can fit any size graphics card Hard (impossible truly) to fit optical drive in any other position than the bottom drivebay since the drivebay width is not uniform.Sidepanels thin. Need foam to stabilize them unless you want them to vibrate.MY MOTHERBOARD CAME WITH M3 SCREWHOLES AND NO STANDOFFS! Normal STANDOFFS DON'T FIT! STUCK WITH A CASE I Can not USE UNTIL THE STANDOFFS I MYSELF ORDERED ARRIVES (BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NO Contact FROM COOLER MASTERS SUPPORT). I really should rate this case a 1 for the standoff concerns, but the truth is, even although there are top quality-problems, it nonetheless beats nearly every other case out there.

Comment:
This case is just an absolute wonder to develop in! It's Large, you will come across more than sufficient room. It's quite high good quality, no sharp edges at all. Looks excellent, too. I have yet to locate a actual con to this case. The inside isn't black, but that's just nit choosing definitely...

Comment:
This case is the ideal case I have ever observed or built a PC in. I was constantly a Lian-Li fan but this case makes them look bad. It runs so cool and totally quiet. The precisely machined black aluminum is cold to touch even when utilizing the personal computer and three 120 mm fans move tons of air with no noise. I would advise this case to anybody. You won't be dissapointed. none Buy THIS CASE!

How quite a few they are. I have 3 Stacker 83X circumstances, they are excellent, but lack a couple of refinements that are embodied in this case. You do not have to eliminate the mother board to alter out the CPU cooler, they have a cut out below the are of the CPU on the mother board. The cabling can be run behind the M/B plate, creating it significantly neater, massive fans, protected panel on leading, P/S on the bottom, I use a PCP&C 1KW, it fits in my 83X's, but I have to leave the leading fan out. Their are others I can't think of appropriate off hand. Hmmm, heavy, oh properly, need to have applied a smaller P/S I guess. It will be full, and super heavy, but a terrific set up with this case, flexable and adaptable.

This case is truly well built and designed. The aluminum construction sets it a full notch above the HAF932. It looks quite sleek too. Developing in it is a joy with the slide-out mobo tray and cavernous interior. The only difficulty I have with it is that receiving good airflow through the case is a actual pain. What it is lacking is a large side fan like the HAF932. Without that side fan, what you get is a lot of negative air pressure. I resolved this by performing two factors: A) disconnect 1 of the big fans on leading (the front 1), and B) add a Scythe Kama Bay insert with a 2000 rpm fan. Now there is a slightly positive air pressure inside the case (good) and all is properly.If you are comparing this case to an Corsair 800D Obsidian, this is the way to go if you are air cooling. If you are comparing this to a HAF932 and you don't care about looks (or if you're into that bling appear), go with the HAF932. If you are willing to fuss about with fans in order to get very good airflow and prefer the looks of this over a HAF932, get this case.

This case has a lot of room! I didn't understand the size of this until I took it out of the packaging. Seriously good and quiet. The removable MB tray is second to none and the construction is superb. None. Wonderful case if you have a lot of drives and want to put in one place.

Comment:
It's a excellent case. Lots of room. You have to like the aluminum construction for weight. If it was steel, it would be too heavy. Pleanty of room for fans and alike. There is only 7 slots. There should be eight. My Gigabyte has PCI-16 slot at the bottom of the board. Due to the fact the new GPU's are double wide, and take up two expansion slots, the case has a bottom bracket which prevents me from utilizing the last PCI-16 slot. That's a shame, so I can't optomize the board and use it as intended due to case constrictions. I am forced to use two other PCI-16 slots that places my crossfired 4890's back to back which adds to a heat build up difficulty. If I could use that last slot, i would boost air flow for my GPU's/ I would have had LED fans just to had that little sparkle such a case deserves.

Comment:
Slide out mobotray, extremely nice feature. Big size provides you a lot of room to work. Large fans on best are quiet, nice air flow all through case. Slide and snap trays for drives, no screws essential. Quality create. Not really a Con. This case is big! Be positive you have sufficient room. No complaints so far, have had for 2 weeks.

Comment:
massively huge, properly built, plenty of goodies (fans, mounting brackets, screws, bezels, and so on), straightforward access to parts, selections of mounts, good searching heavy, HDD mounting is lacking.....read below Big! This case is huge sufficient to fit 3x GTX260s, 4x HDDs, 3x ODDs, 1 five.25" fan controller, cables for everything, AND a watercooling setup that has a pump, dual bay water reservoir, a 3x120mm, 2x120mm, and 1x120mm radiator following holes had been created, full card blocks, tubing, and do it all internally. With this setup, I can run a full blast gaming laptop or computer at minimal noise. I added dynamat to all vibrating surfaces to make it even additional quiet as nicely. With this, it is each quiet and heavy, so wheels had been installed. Fan filters are nice too Removable motherboard tray, and easy access to CPU cooler bracket are amazing and a key sanity saver for any individual who has ever had to tear out a mobo to do this just before regularly. My only actual gripe with it is that the HDD bay screams to have a backplane on it, but it does not have one, but strangely, it does appear to have tapped screw holes for one, perhaps a style that fell by way of from CM? I made one to mount here, so now HDD swaps are easy

love this case, 230mm fans are extremely quiet. Will buy another, love to have 2 or 3 side by side.
